Thank your brother for his service...and prayers for him and your family.

Truly, thanks.

Sleuth, we've got an ole boy who comes in to the restaurant for dinner a couple times a week... just a 79 cent burger and a cup of water. This past week he brought in one of his two purple hearts and his sabres to show us... quite a character. (I believe he said he just turned 86...)

Tells everybody who'll listen about his 2 purple hearts and a story or two... amazing to see young men (20 and 30 somethings) flock to his table to listen. He brags that he has more medals than Mac Arthur... but he earned his!

Sweet ole guy... God love him. Wears a wool cap his brother got for him in Russia... MANY years ago. (During the war...)
